Because that crackhead should be apprehended thru other means and not thru the fishing expedition that is the checkpoint. It's NOT your job, and you don't have that authority. There's these little things called rule of law and due process that some citizens demand you stick to. I don't care if the crackhead boards my plane as long as YOU do your job, screen him, and he doesn't have any items that will threaten the plane (bottled water excluded).
Uhmmm...it is part of our job to report suspected drugs. It's in the SOP. Thats why the ruling went the way it did
